Trust influencer and sustainable fashion advocate Sanjana Rishi for a real take on what it’s like to be pregnant.

Motherhood is a job for a lifetime. Once a mother, women are often stereotyped into following a certain norm of how you can and cannot dress. Neena Gupta, who also played the role of an older mother in one of her most acclaimed performances as an actor, also surprises us all with her fashion looks, free from rules about what older mothers should wear. This all-white look, featuring a pair of shorts, tank top and an easy layer stayed true to her love for fashion and pushed women to feel okay to dress how they want!

But as Aishwarya Rai Bacchhan took to the red carpet at Cannes in this embellished, navy couture gown, she shattered stereotypes about women being expected to “bounce back” from pregnancy weight gain almost instantaneously.

Most of us have always eyed our mothers’ saris that we’ve watched them sport beautifully and cherish. Kapoor gave her own take to her late mother and actor Sridevi’s silk sari with a fresh look finished with simple jhumkis and the pallu worn down, a true example of how the garments that are passed down to us from generations hold great sentiment and meaning.
